BMFA Achievement Scheme "B" certificate.

Due to weather this session has been postponed until Saturday 21st August

Several members have expressed an interest in taking the BMFA Achievement Scheme "B" fixed wing test.

On Saturday 21st August I will be running an afternoon session of
 tutoring for the "B" certificate. This will take members through the requirements and give them chance to fly the required manoeuvres.

You will need a four function model capable of basic aerobatic
manoeuvres it can be I/C or electric but must be capable of
 taking of and landing from the strip.

Those interested please contact the chairman ASAP.

Normal club flying will carry on as usual but please allow a little time
for those practicing to take to the air.
